Okay, here's a list of common MySQL definitions, queries, constraints, keywords, and clauses

with a one-line definition, syntax, and example for each:

Definitions:
Definition One-Line Definition Syntax Example
Database An organized collection CREATE DATABASE CREATE DATABASE
of data. database_name; my_database;
Table A structure within a CREATE TABLE CREATE TABLE users
database to hold table_name (...); (id INT, name
related data. VARCHAR(50));
Column A set of data values of column_name name VARCHAR(50)
a particular simple type. data_type [constraints]
Row (Record) A set of related data (value1, value2, ...) (1, 'John Doe')
values.
Queries:
Query One-Line Definition Syntax Example
SELECT Retrieves data from SELECT column1, SELECT name, age
one or more tables. column2 FROM FROM users;
table_name;
INSERT Adds new rows of data INSERT INTO INSERT INTO users
into a table. table_name (columns) (name, age) VALUES
VALUES (values); ('Jane', 30);
UPDATE Modifies existing UPDATE table_name UPDATE users SET
records in a table. SET column = value age = 31 WHERE
WHERE condition; name = 'Jane';
DELETE Removes rows from a DELETE FROM DELETE FROM users
table. table_name WHERE WHERE id = 1;
condition;
Constraints:
Constraint One-Line Definition Syntax within CREATE Example
TABLE
NOT NULL Ensures that a column column_name name VARCHAR(50)
cannot have a NULL data_type NOT NULL NOT NULL
value.
UNIQUE Ensures that all values column_name email VARCHAR(100)
in a column are data_type UNIQUE UNIQUE
different.
PRIMARY KEY Uniquely identifies each PRIMARY KEY id INT PRIMARY KEY
row in a table; must be (column_name)
NOT NULL.
FOREIGN KEY Establishes a link FOREIGN KEY FOREIGN KEY
between data in two (fk_column) (user_id)
tables. REFERENCES REFERENCES
other_table(pk_column) users(id)
CHECK Ensures that all values CHECK (condition) age INT CHECK (age
in a column satisfy a >= 18)
condition.
Constraint One-Line Definition Syntax within CREATE Example
TABLE
DEFAULT Sets a default value for column_name is_active BOOLEAN
a column if no value is data_type DEFAULT DEFAULT TRUE
specified. value
Keywords:
Keyword One-Line Definition Syntax Usage Example
SELECT Specifies the columns SELECT column1, ... SELECT * FROM
to retrieve. FROM ... products;
FROM Specifies the table(s) to SELECT ... FROM SELECT name FROM
retrieve data from. table_name users;
WHERE Filters records based SELECT ... FROM ... SELECT * FROM
on specified conditions. WHERE condition orders WHERE
order_date >
'2024-01-01';
ORDER BY Sorts the result set. `SELECT ... FROM ... DESC]`
ORDER BY column
[ASC
LIMIT Restricts the number of SELECT ... FROM ... SELECT * FROM
rows to retrieve. LIMIT count products LIMIT 10;
AND, OR Logical operators to WHERE condition1 WHERE age > 25 AND
combine conditions. AND/OR condition2 city = 'New York';
NOT Negates a condition. WHERE NOT condition WHERE NOT status =
'inactive';
NULL Represents a missing WHERE column IS WHERE email IS
or unknown value. NULL or WHERE NULL;
column IS NOT NULL
AS Renames a column or column_name AS SELECT product_name
table alias. alias_name AS item FROM
products;
JOIN Combines rows from table1 JOIN table2 ON SELECT orders.id,
two or more tables. condition users.name FROM
orders JOIN users ON
orders.user_id =
users.id;
Clauses:
Clause One-Line Definition Syntax Usage within Example
SELECT statements
WHERE Filters rows based on a SELECT ... FROM ... SELECT * FROM
condition. WHERE condition products WHERE price
> 50;
GROUP BY Groups rows that have SELECT column(s) SELECT department,
the same values in FROM ... WHERE ... COUNT(*) FROM
specified columns. GROUP BY column(s) employees GROUP BY
department;
HAVING Filters groups based on SELECT ... FROM ... SELECT department,
Clause One-Line Definition Syntax Usage within Example
SELECT statements
a specified condition. GROUP BY ... HAVING COUNT(*) FROM
condition employees GROUP BY
department HAVING
COUNT(*) > 5;
ORDER BY Sorts the result set. `SELECT ... FROM ... DESC]`
ORDER BY column(s)
[ASC
LIMIT Restricts the number of SELECT ... FROM ... SELECT * FROM
rows returned. LIMIT [offset,] count books LIMIT 5;
